'Historic Urban Landscape' is a new approach to urban heritage
management, promoted by UNESCO, and currently one of the most
debated issues in the international preservation community.
However, few conservation practitioners have a clear understanding
of what it entails, and more importantly, what it can achieve.
Following the publication of "Historic Urban Landscape: managing
heritage in an Urban Century," the new heritage management approach
is now further elaborated with a much more practical slant.
The first book dealt with the underlying theory related to
scholarly traditions and contexts (European and non-European) as
part of a broader international policy process initiated by UNESCO.
This follow-up book translates the rather abstract notion of the
Historic Urban Landscape into the operational set of management
practices. In this second volume, the editors pull together
specially commissioned chapters on best practice in urban heritage
management from established professionals in the field. These
chapter authors are drawn from a variety of disciplines related to
urban management and conservation. They present and discuss
methodologies and practices to consider in the implementation of
the Historic Urban Landscape approach as advocated by UNESCO.
The contributors are selected from professionals who have
written, argued or debated about the role of historic cities in
contemporary society. As well as their chapters, there are
interviews with six high-profile people from different regions of
the world giving their critical reflections on the UNESCO approach
in relation to their own ideas on urban heritage conservation and
city management.
"The Historic Urban Management: design with culture "provides a
thorough discussion, structured by themes on issues related to key
topics in the field of urban management, e.g. changing
demographics; increasing urbanisation; pressures of economic
development and decentralisation; social interaction; and
tourism.
By presenting a range of methodologies and tools to support
urban conservation in a way that is sensitive to cultural
differences, the editors encourage a departure from the
compartmentalized approaches of today's urban
heritagemanagement.
